It is important for healthcare professionals to keep track of their vaccines. When you work directly with patients or handle body fluids, you are more likely to get – and spread – serious diseases.

If you are a doctor, nurse, pharmacist, laboratory technician or other healthcare worker, protect yourself and your patients by getting vaccinated.
